Lumba Sumba Pass Trek

Lumba Sumba Pass Trek is one of Nepal’s most remote and spectacular high-altitude trekking routes, connecting the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area with the Makalu Barun National Park in the eastern Himalayas. This challenging 18-22 day camping trek traverses the rarely explored Lumba Sumba Pass at 5,177 meters (16,985 feet), offering adventurous trekkers an authentic wilderness experience far from crowded trails. Opened only in 2012, this Trek  region follows a section of the legendary Great Himalayan Trail (GHT), weaving through diverse landscapes from subtropical forests to high alpine zones while showcasing breathtaking panoramic views of the world’s third and fifth highest peaks—Mount Kanchenjunga and Mount Makalu. Whether you’re seeking an off-the-beaten-path Himalayan adventure with rich cultural encounters, dramatic mountain scenery, and encounters with endangered wildlife like snow leopards and red pandas, this Trek region promises an unforgettable journey through one of the Himalayas’ last truly pristine destinations.
